Every number was expected about that many times after 735 draws, and they scatter around it. Warm means more than expected, cool means fewer — and a cold number arriving is exactly what cold numbers do.

Its nearest twin

Shares 2 of 5 numbers (20, 60) and 0 of 1 stars with the draw of 13 December 2025 — its closest relative in 735 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 100% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (2 May 2026): 35 carried over. Chance says 32% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: 7 repeated (4% expected).

Sum and shape

198

The numbers add up to 198 — the 69th percentile of all possible tickets, around a middle of 175. No two numbers side by side. 27% of draws have at least one such pair.

The longest wait in this draw

60 had not appeared for 61 draws. A number waits about 14 on average, and a wait this long was not a signal — the machine has no memory of it.

Gap & “Overdue” Tracker →

How many people held it

A line like this is played about 0.6× as often as an average ticket — less popular than most. At 30 million tickets sold, a winner on these numbers would keep about 51% of the jackpot.

    • Where chance put the count

    The rings take the ≈7.3M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 3 — 6,816 winners, 46% fewer than the 13k an even spread gives. The numbers drawn were noticeably less popular than average — a draw full of birthdays makes more small winners, a draw of high numbers fewer. That is the crowd, not the machine.
